Manage series numbering.

ArcaN_RMX · 12-21-2017, 12:33 AM

After collecting a lot of pdf files i decided to organize them but part of the files (U.S. Army Field & Technical Manuals) have a special numbering like this:

FM 1-10
FM 1-195
FM 4-119
FM 101-15
TM-E 31-480
TM 3-376A
TM 9-421
TM 9-1901

Initially i number them 1.10, 101.15 but the problem is that caliber don't let me use more than two digits after the period also some of them have two subdivisions like FMI 4-93.41.

Any recommendations are welcome.

Create a text column and use that, since these are not really numbers. Preferences->Add your own columns Or use two columns, volume and subdivisiion

Thanks, I'm doing that along with a custom template language.
